Cheney To Endorse Hutchison

Unbelievably, there are still those who believe the Republican primary race for governor is between a far right-winger (Rick Perry) and a moderately right-winger (Kay Bailey Hutchison). This is just not true. Hutchison is about as moderate as a "teabagger" on methamphetamines.

Both of these candidates are on a dead run to the right to convince the racist right-wing base of the Texas Republican Party that they are truly the nuttiest right-winger of all. For a while, it looked like Rick Perry might be winning that race. After all, he had captured the endorsement of Sarah Palin -- the accepted queen of the unthinking right-wing nutjobs.

But Hutchison is not about to let him win that race without a down-and-dirty fight. She has trumped his Palin endorsement with an even scarier endorsement of her own. She has trumped stupidity with downright evil. Her endorsement is from the king of the neocons and the emperor of all that is wrong with America -- Dick Cheney.

Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it, you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing bad things, but for good people to do bad things, it takes religion.
